Thermo Scientific SL 16R Refrigerated Centrifuge
The Thermo Scientific SL 16R Refrigerated Centrifuge offers an optimal blend of capacity, ergonomics, and value for everyday sample preparation, catering to a wide array of separation needs in clinical protocols, cell culture applications, and more. This centrifuge boasts a substantial capacity of 4 x 400ml all within a compact footprint that conserves bench space. It features the Auto-Lock® III Rotor System for swift rotor exchange with the push of a button, alongside easy chamber access for cleaning, reducing contamination risks. The ClickSeal® Bucket Sealing System offers a user-friendly, one-handed operation, eliminating the need for screw caps and ensuring biocontainment with CAMR certification. Additionally, SMARTSpin® Technology ensures optimal rotor management, enhancing safety and efficiency in pelleting applications.
User convenience is further supported by a motorized lid latch allowing easy one-finger operation, with an optional automatic lid opening post-run. The design prioritizes ergonomics with an accessible working height and a curved design for ease of sample handling and unit cleaning. It is also leading in energy efficiency, offering up to 40% energy savings on standard protocols, complemented by an extended tubes capacity which reduces run frequency in busy labs. The SL 16R operates at a maximum speed of 15,200 RPM, achieving a maximum RCF of 25,830 x g, with a temperature range of -10°C to 40°C, making it an exceptionally productive and ergonomic choice for laboratories seeking high throughput and efficient operation. We may have different adapters available depending on the rotor chosen with this centrifuge. If the selected rotor includes adapters that will not work for your application, please inquire.All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
Please confirm this rotor meets your application needs and request a different rotor, if necessary. Available rotors can be found in our Rotor Compatibility Guide.
